ATTENTION

o PARENTS!

The subject of junior education for the children of Toothill
and Freshbrook is being raised again. Many parents are becoming
increasingly concerned at the Wiltshire County Council's attitude
that a seven year old child can be deposited on a double decker
bus, and without supervision, be transported across Swindon to a
school, which has little or no involvement with his or her home
community, and which is now becoming full. This ridiculous state
of affairs is being allowed to happen while only 135 out of 280
places at Toothill school are taken. In addition to this, a new
school is due to open after Christmas at Freshbrook and initially
this is also to offer places for infant education only.

A recent petitioning letter sent to the Chief Education Office
setting out parent's concerns had virtually 100% support of parents
who have children 'going up' in September. This group of parents
are not prepared to accept the situation and intend to pressure
the authorities into agreeing to the phasing in of junior education
forthwith here at Toothill.

Any parent, especially those with children approaching junior
school age, who is concerned about their child's education, should
help us show the authorities that the children of Toothill need
their own school and do not wish to borrow someone elses.

Help us win by supporting us. You don't need to do anything
or even say anything - just let us know you want what is best for
E3
your child.
Contact Mr. Collier, 26 Bodiam Drive or tel. 42993.

P.S. When your child is bussed away from Toothill you will not be
able to complain if you did nothing to prevent it
